| Svendsen's Thursday Night Series #10 at Treasure Island Sailing Center | June 7 |
| Story |
| Great night. Classic. Solid breeze- 20's that lightened up a little to streaky shifts, typical of the cove. Port end seems to win mostly from the 10-15 degree port that kicked in about half way up. RC did a great job going and running races. Not quite sure our thigh's thank you for that 3 (first in a long long time!)- we earned the extra beer.
Lowry's domainated the night with solid sailing- rarely leading a race, the duo ground down everyone in their path. Thank god for East Bay traffic and work that kept the mrs late or else it might have been an embarassing display. Feeny and Holye also posted a stellar night by seemingly starting in the upper startboard of the line, getting a bow out and then down to plane over the top of the rest. But alas, winning the night in points but clearly not in style or looks (maybe Kristin makes a case at least) was Harrision and Kristin in 1317. 2nd up with the 858 with 2nd-nighter Carrie who got her first taste of the bay by missing the hiking strap and then 2 tip overs. But she's coming back for more. Notables: - Titchner and Lara came out but never got to race- what a tragedy. I heard some story of the Mud Man holding their boat for a good 20 mins before setting them free. - 1177- who's that??? Archie is an Int 14 sailor and knows the planing game well. Welcome to our fleet - everyone say hi! - Scores are very very very close almost all around- keep fighting! - 25 boats- our fleet is growing and we are still missing a few of the regulars. Sure makes the cove fun! Mixed with the Lasers that might have been our busiest night in the cove yet- if not, very close. - did anyone else see the new 'baby blue' boat on display in the yard??? Mr Rolf up's the arms race. New boats are fast and very solid. Looks good Rolf- now let's see if you can handle the speed... Huge THANKYOU to the Laser fleet for the baked nachos and plenty of beer! The grill is just like an oven. Well done! As a thank you, you get your scores posted here (corrected- sorry guys!): Lasers #10 1) 5477, 9, 2,4,1,1,1 2) 3670, 20, 4,1,10,2,3 3) 9426, 21, 1,5,2,3,10 4) 5237, 26, 6,2,6,7,5 5) 3261, 29, 3,10,10,4,2 6) 6, 29, 7,10,3,5,4 7) 0926, 37, 5,10,4,12,6 8) 9518, 41, 9,7,5,10,10 9) 5287, 42, 8,6,7,9,10 10) 1029, 42, 10,9,8,8,7 11) 7862, 45, 10,10,10,6,9 12) 0936, 46, 10,3,10,13,10 13) 5237, 46, 10, 8,9,11,8 - 13 boats!!!
